Skiing in Cairngorm 7/1/08

Fresh snow on the mountain, 11am & the sun has just broke through the clouds. Monday morning & most people are back at work - lucky old me & the 6 other people, we had it all to ourselves. Scuse the finger, but the I didn't want to loose the phone.

Yeh, you should try it....but first you should know that over this side of the pond we do day/month/year.

I'd go for it if I were you its only a couple of hours for you & the snow is supposed to be very good this year.

If the weather stays like this there will be no problem, in fact I think they still had snow well into April last year. Keep an eye on the Ski Scotland website, oh & all the areas have webcams.

Hope you have a good trip if you do get up there, where are you travelling from?

Im thinking of going in February do you think there will still be enough snow and tht the pistes will be ok ?

Scottish ski areas are different type of skiing 'experience' to Alps. Weather has a lot more influence on whether you can or cannot ski due to high winds as slopes are all exposed (no trees). On a good day you can have some excellent skiing but those days can sometimes be hard to find in Scotland. I did a massive amount of skiing in Scot as a kid, every winter weekend for 6yrs & if I had time I'd still go up if conditions were OK & I had the time. But it is differnet to the continent.

This isan unsarcastic comment, u should definately come over 2 Scotland, not the highest mountains, but certainly some of the best.
